Pearl Gates (before her days as Pearl Harbour) performing at the Mabuhay Gardens with Leila and the Snakes in 1978 as captured by Chester B. Simpson.
Back in the '70s, Pearl had won a local SF contest as a tap-dancing boxer and was singing background vocals for glam rockers The Tubes while tap-dancing in boxing outfits. The band was part of the mid-'70s underground scene with a stage show unlike any other, a Rocky Horror Picture Show/Saturday Night Live combo of rock, satire and subversive routines.
It was during that time that Pearl "…joined a local band called Leila and the Snakes where she would sing while hula-hooping. As fun – and knackering – as that sounds, after a couple of years she became desperate to do her own thing and so Pearl Harbour and the Explosions were born. They released a tight, talked-about new wave album and toured with Talking Heads but soon Pearl felt the pull of the up-and-coming rockabilly movement. The rest of the band weren’t too sure, so Pearl broke away and moved to the UK to focus on her new sound. Music wasn’t her only reason for heading to England. Pearl had married The Clash’s bass player Paul Simonon and made a whole new gang of British pals, including Ian Dury, who gave her a gift of a British rhyming slang dictionary to help with her lyrics and who she joined onstage at The Hammersmith Odeon before many tours with The Clash…." ( thefortyfive.com/ )
She's been following a solo career since 1980 and is still active and rocking to this day.

oops another oc :: introducing leila martell  ↳ snakes in the grass
UNBOWED, UNBENT, UNBROKEN.
THOSE WORDS WERE THE LEGACY OF HOUSE MARTELL. A legacy Leila now holds in her hands as she travels North to Kings Landing like her ancestor Deria had done a century before her. But she had no dragon skulls to barter with, no letter to threaten King Viserys into compliance. 
She had only her wits, her words, and her luck.
Once she would have believed those would have gotten her out of any situation, but the independence of Dorne was more important than some petty squabble with a lordling or sibling. 
The very future of her Kingdom lay in her hands as their future Queen and Princess, the eldest daughter of Qoren Martell and the one who must continue repairing the damage done from the Fourth Dornish War perpetuated by her Great-Grandfather. It wasn't her own legacy she must shoulder, but Nymeria of Ny Sar's as well.
And so she sails North.
Toward Aegon's High Hill and the Red Keep itself, where sleeping dragons lie amidst red stone waiting for a chance to burn her to ash.
But LEILA MARTELL is no mere lady of Westeros.
She will not simper and plead and beg for her home. She will do what Queens do and take what belongs to her through any means necessary.
For she is a viper in a den of dragons, and she can no longer wait sitting in the grass to strike.

Holiday Loving (Patri Guijarro x Reader)
One of my new favourites!!! Loved writing for someone different. Loved writing this, with help from these requests (1, 2, 3) and this picture. TW: mentions of body image issues, suggestive language. Requests open!
Tumblr media
The season finally drew to a close and despite the disappointment of the Champions League final you were determined to relax for a week in Ibiza before you had to start the preparation for the European Championships with Spain. Of course you were thankful that you got to play football for a living but if there’s one thing you loved most in the world about your job it was the people you’ve met because of it.
You’d been at Barcelona since you were 19 and they’d the best five years of your life. Like everyone always said, you were more than a football team, it was a family, a group of individuals who gave their all to each other every day.
Within that you had your own little mini family in Claudia, Leila and Patri. Claudia and Leila could only be described as your sisters and best friends, annoying but loving all the time. Patri was different, you’d always had quite an affectionate friendship but you knew you were destined to be more than just friends. The two of you had finally made the leap and began dating almost two years ago after finally ‘growing some balls’ as Mapi put it. With football however and the ever-changing pandemic you’d never been able to go away together, until now.
Which is what led you to Ibiza with the three of them, boarding a small yacht ready to spend the day in the sun along with some of Leila’s other friends.
“You ok?” Patri whispered in your ear as the four of you sat in the little lounge area, your back to her front as you sat between her legs, light kisses being peppered along your ear. “You’re quiet.”
“Tired.” This was your first day out with everyone as you’d spent the first day of the holiday as just the two of you, leading to quite a late night.
“Sleep baby, I’ll wake you up when we stop.”
Patri gently stroked your hair as you fell asleep facing the seat, almost cuddling her leg as you slumped down so your head rested on her chest. She could have been watching the blue water surrounding them but she found you much more interesting, watching as your face scrunched up every so often, as your leg naturally wrapped around her own. She could do this forever even if she already had every part of your body memorised in her head forever.
“Hola.” The silence was broken as Claudia roughly sat down next to Patri, earning an immediate scowl from her teammate.
“Shh, she’s asleep. Don’t wake her up”
“Woah, I wasn’t going to.” The younger girl settled down, dropping into a whisper to stay with her friend. “Why didn’t you come out last night?”
The plan was to have the day to yourselves and then join up with the rest of the group but you’d cancelled on the club at the last minute. “We were planning on coming but then we ended up in this little town and found this cute little restaurant. Just didn’t want to leave.” Patri recited the little story you’d come up with.
Claudia though saw straight through it. “More like you couldn’t get out of bed, no wonder she can’t keep her eyes open.”
“Don’t be jealous Claudia.” You whispered, forcing both eyes to look down on you as your arm snaked around Patri’s waist under her cover up. “You’d be the same if your girlfriend was as hot as mine.”
“You two make me sick.” Claudia said as she observed the hand resting very low on your back. The disgust in her voice though couldn’t disguise the smile on her face as she watched you interact. “You know even though I love you both I never signed up for this.”
“You love us really.” You reached up with your other hand to pinch her cheeks. “Also I specifically remember you pushing us to go on that date so you can’t back track now.”
She couldn’t deny that one, moving closer so she could wrap her arms around you both. “I love you both, just don’t be having sex on this boat.”
“Yeah I don’t think that’s going to happen.”
….
Once the boat had stopped moving and settled in the middle of the ocean you all made your way up onto the top deck to sunbathe before the food was due to come out.
Through not being able to go on holiday for the past couple of years, you’d forgotten how comfortable Spanish people are around each other and how they all naturally settled for going topless. It wasn’t that you were against this, in fact you would also naturally go to do this, but in the last few years you’d become extremely body conscious. It took a lot for you to be comfortable around Patri and that took a lot of patience and encouragement from her.
“We don’t have to if you don’t want to.” Patri sensed your discomfort, wrapping her arm around your shoulder as the two of you sat watching everyone move around. “We can go back downstairs or just keep our tops on.”
“Everyone will just think I’m weird.”
“I promise no-one will care and if anyone does make a comment they’d have me to answer to.” Of course that got a laugh out of you as you knew she was actually the softest person ever off the pitch and hated confrontation. “What do you want to do baby?”
“I’ll just wait till everyone’s settled and then see.” You lied down, Patri leaning over to press her forehead against your own.
“Promise you’re ok? If you don’t feel comfortable then we can go down.”
“I promise I’m fine, you go ahead.” You knew she was used to going topless.
With a final peck of your lips she sat up, slowly taking her over up and bikini top off, almost teasing you as she could see your eyes trained on her body, a smirk on her lips.
“I think I’ve changed my mind, maybe we should go downstairs.”
“Don’t be jealous.” She chucked, remembering the words you had said earlier, lying down on her front so your faces were only inches apart, her hand intertwining with your own. “You know are friends wouldn’t judge you and we’re a bit away from the rest of them. Like they could even judge you, you have an incredible body.”
“Patri…”
“It’s true. It’s only my job to remind you how perfect you are in every way.”
Being a footballer you had to be athletic and you couldn’t deny that you did have a good physique. The problem however, at least in your own mind, was that since you were a teenager you have noticed that one of your breasts is noticeably larger than the other.
Of course you had this checked and the doctors have assured you that there is no underlying problem with this but it made you so self-conscious wearing anything that was low cut in public. You’d considered having corrective surgery but you could never justify the recovery time and how it would impact your footballing schedule.
It had taken a while for you to open up about this to Patri when things began to heat up but since you’d told her she never failed to reassure you that it didn’t matter to her. She regularly switched which one was her favourite, sometimes saying the small one deserved more love and sometimes picking the big one for the attention.
Once everyone was settled, with Claudia led on the other side of Patri, you took a few moments to sike yourself up before sitting up to remove your cover up. You could feel Patri’s eyes on you as you then undid the bikini top, letting it fall to the floor as you led down turning over to be on your back.
“I’m so proud of you.” Patri whispered, leaning up to place a delicate kiss on your shoulder.
“I’m only taking my top off.”
“Don’t do that, I know it was a big thing for you.”
“Thank you.” The sincerity clear in your voice as you shifted closer together so your sides were touching. “I love you.”
“I love you too. I think I like the big one better right now.”
“Oh yeah, why that one?”
“Because that’s the one giving me a lot of side boob right now.”
“Patri!”
Both of you possessed the love language of touch, spending the next hour just delicately touching the other, grazing your fingers over the other’s back to having your pinkies intertwined. You had the confidence to turn over, knowing everyone around you was a bit tipsy and probably wouldn’t even take notice of you.
As the crowd slowly dissipated and it was only your three close friends up there you became a bit more confident, sitting up to talk to them without reaching for your cover up.
“You look great Y/N.” Leila reassured you, noticing your discomfort and you repeatedly that no-one else was around you.
“Thanks Leila.” Leila was quite a big flirt but it was definitely harmless.
“Don’t look for too long.” Patri said, reaching to pull you between her legs, her hands moving to cup your breasts away from their view. “They’re mine.”
“All yours.” You reassured her, twisting your head to meet her lips. “Always.”
“Again no having sex on the boat.” Claudia repeated. “Come on lets get a tan.”
…..
That night you held up your promise and joined the rest of the group for a meal at a restaurant overlooking the sea.
Even though you were going out with the larger group you had definitely gained some confidence from today, you’d spent most of the time as just the three of you and never felt the need to cover up, so that night you went for a low-cut mini dress.
“Have I mentioned how incredible you look tonight?” Patri whispered as the two of you sat at one end of the long table her hand firmly on your thigh with yours intertwined on top of it, Claudia and Leila opposite the two of you. “Sensational.”
“I think you mentioned it once or twice.” More like five times, since you’d walked out the villa her hands had not left your body.
“Ladies have you decided what you would like?” A waiter appeared next to me, noticing we had put our menus down. “Lovely lady first.”
“Sex on the beach please.” You responded, quickly glancing to Patri to see a blush rising on her face. “The tapas set menu as well.”
The rest of the group gave their orders, Patri simply ordering a vodka and coke, the two of you agreeing to share the tapas.
“Did you not fancy sex on the beach?”
“Maybe later.”
Patri had definitely had a few drinks throughout the day and was edging being tipsy. With that came the wandering hands and frequent displays of affection, as she leading to Patri leaning down to place a kiss on your exposed collarbone. In keeping professional, you shared the occasional hug but you never really shared any displays in front of your teammates.
“You know I think I’ve seen you kiss more times today than the like two years you’ve been together.” Claudia commented as the two of you had another kiss. “Is this why we never go round to your place because you just can’t keep your hands off each other?”
“You wouldn’t be able to either if you had a girlfriend like this.” You commented, also getting a bit tipsy and confident.
“And to think neither of you were going to make a move.” Leila added. “You were both so obvious yet so oblivious at the same time. Now you’re here practically eye-fucking each other.”
“They’re just in love.” Pina teased. “As much as it is weird I do love seeing the both of you so free and happy.”
“Thank you.”
“What’s the plan for after the Euro’s then?” Leila asked.
“We’re spending a few weeks with my family and then Patri’s.” You answered. “A few more weeks in the sun before we get back to business.”
“Got any more tattoos booked in?” That question was obviously directed to Patri, that was one place where you were almost complete opposites. Patri had the love of tattoos whereas you had an extreme phobia of needles.
“Yeah I’ve got one planned here.” Patri pointed to her forearm but in doing so revealed something else.
“Wait what’s that?” Claudia gripped her arm stopping it from moving and pointing to the little words on her wrist.
“Oh yeah I got that last week.”
“What does it say?” Leila and Claudia were currently trying to contort their faces to read the writing upside down before literally getting out of their seat to read it. “’Love you always (Your Initial)’.”
You couldn’t help but smile at the mention of the new addition to her wrist, she had surprised you with it last week, the words permanently now on her skin in your handwriting.
“I think I’m about to be sick.” Claudia faked a gag. “Where has my tough friend gone?”
“She fell in love.” Patri pressed her lips onto yours. “I love you so much.”
“I love you too, even if I won’t get it tattooed on my skin.”
“Y/N just has to wait for the wedding ring to have something permanent.” Leila commented but the food came before you could reply to her.
You could feel the stress of your friends on you but you couldn’t care less right now as you just soaked in the holiday atmosphere, feeding each other the odd piece of food whilst continuing to graze each other’s hands. Everything was perfect as Patri leaned over to whisper in your ear.
“You know I think I prefer the smaller one right now.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah, it’s definitely giving me a better view right now.”
“Patri!”

HOUSE MARTELL :: 101 AC - 158 AC
Not much was known of House Martell during the Dance of Dragons, and most of the history prior to its induction into the Seven Kingdoms is either hidden or lost. 
What is known is that Prince Qoren Martell and his consort Arianna Martell nee Manwoody, were blessed with four children, three daughters and one son. Leila Martell was the eldest and as such, she inherited Dorne when her father passed. Aliandra, younger by three years, grew up into a spirited young lady and was said to hold the affection of Ser Alyn Velaryon. Prince Qyle and Princess Coryanne were the youngest, and while Prince Qyle’s martial prowess became well-known throughout Dorne, Princess Coryanne preferred to keep her skills private, and so not much was written of her. 
Stranger still was the inconsistent appearances of Prince Qoren’s younger brother Andar Martell and his paramour, Selyna Ladybright. It is unknown why the two nobles never married yet shared three daughters, affectionately known as the Daughters of the Dorne for their loyalty to their kingdom. 
Meera Sand was rumored to be Princess Leila’s own Mistress of Whisperers and personal assassin, while her sisters moved behind the scenes, fulfilling different duties for the Princess of Dorne. 
Princess Leila refused to have any other ladies in waiting but her cousins and sisters, which was not unusual for Dorne, although it did lead to some tension between the vassal houses and the Great House.
The fates of House Martell largely remain unknown, as Dorne stayed a far removed kingdom until Prince Daeron married Princess Myriah Martell, Leila Martell’s own granddaughter, several decades later.

𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒂 𝒈𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕, 𝒂 𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒎, 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓, 𝒂 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒏𝒆'𝒔 𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 ? 𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒍��� ... 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒌𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈?
born aida donabedian, her name was changed to nazanin ghorbani when she was adopted into the vipers by the then-choreographer. she was meant to live a very simple life, separated from everything that involved the vipers after a "freak" accident that took her parents and yet, naza had always felt a distance between her and her aunt. after all, she truly wasn't one of the girls yet. there was no pride to be had in naza since her only accomplishment was surviving. so naza did the only thing her family knew well. spy on the target and figure out where her aunt would disappear to every day and become the center focus of it. this was how she found out about the vipers and put herself into training. she would find herself completely enthralled by this world if only because the look of her aunt had changed from one of complete disinterest to one of silent pride. This would be their dynamic and ultimately the drive in naza's life. Such a simple desire, and yet the woman who could give it was as complex as naza would become.
this is where naza climbed the ranks and found herself gaining the confidence and trust of her aunt, who would ultimately get naza the mission that was Heath. She viewed the Snakes as anything but extraordinary. and yet, her time with them opened her eyes to a life far more thrilling than she could have ever imagined. Whatever superiority complex there was seemed to slowly melt away, and yet that wall would slowly go back up the more toxic the relationship got between her and Heath. After all, in the end of the day, she is as selfish as they come and not even he can change her priorities ( which were to find a perfect equilibrium between her aunts own pride in her and heath's love for her ).
her death was inevitable, she knew this and she wouldnt have wanted it any other way than by heath's hands. yet, when the light got closer and closer, suddenly blackness simply enveloped her. her aunt's voice was the only thing that remained in her mind until she awoke a week later where she found herself in a completely different country recovering from her attack. Her aunt had retired and dedicated her life to caring for naza just as a mother would along with the help of the occasional strangers over in the middle east where naza would go under the alias of leila zayed. only recently did she get the job as concierge at the Bastion in an attempt to rebuild the life that gave her purpose once upon a time ( and also to give heath and any acquaintances she once had a scare ). Her excuse for being absent? simply an espionage job in the middle east that required complete and utter anonymity from her since she had never officially retired / resigned from her duties to the vipers.

“Wesker loves Claire.”
Starting off our Clesker evidence is none other than Richard Waugh, who graced the RE fandom with his sexy, cunning, and honey voice laced with deception, Albert Wesker. Providing his voice from 2000 to 2005, Waugh captured the essence of Wesker perfectly and became a fan favorite. Having no prior knowledge of the character, his "Shere Khan" Wesker, to which some of the fans joked about it sounding like Bowie. The RE fanbase was giddy for anything close to Wesker, Richard Waugh took part in a few fan events and interviews. One, in particular, took place in 2011 by Project Umbrella, years after Capcom replaced him as Wesker. https://www.projectumbrella.net/richard-waugh-interview-project-umbrella.html
With an interesting question below.
Tumblr media
RW: "I'm afraid I am a little biased. Claire is a favorite."
In 2017, on the Crimson Head Elder podcast, which interviewed Alyson Court (Claire) and Leila Johnson (Alexia) was suddenly interrupted by a special guest. Which was none other than Richard Waugh.
https://youtu.be/zJaD5cNrqLg
Shocking the podcast hosts, and it eventually became an Alexia/Claire/Wesker interview lol. (@31:46) The interview goes on, and they questioned Waugh about his performance as Albert Wesker, with Alyson fangirling in the background. All this leads to Waugh being asked about Wesker's obsession with Chris, and Claire being mentioned (smirk) (39:54)
RW: "Yeah, his obsession with Chris is really odd to me, but I'm obsessed with Claire just because of Alyson. I don't understand the obsession with Chris."
Host 2: "I think Wesker's infatuation with Claire is that he really likes her."
Rw: "Yes, absolutely. I think he's in love with her, that's what I decided.
Queen Alyson: "That's what I decided too. I am so cool to go with this fanfiction. It's sort of like a Hannibal Lecter/ Clarice Starling pairing. Yeah, I always wanted to explore that aspect, but then I guess with what they did with the Wesker character, it went in a VERY DIFFERENT direction. But I'm just saying there could be some fan spinoff."
So we have Hannibal Lecter/Clarice Starling and another dynamic being mentioned, starting at 47:12.
RW: I was going with Shere Khan from Jungle Book with a kind of Bowie from Labyrinth thing as a side thing. Then it suddenly became, "Well, he's doing David Bowie." Well, I sound nothing like David Bowie. I wasn't doing David Bowie. I was doing George Sanders, and it was to me a risk when I first presented it to Susan. It was just me taking a shot at ultimate evil. All I knew was the name of the guy, that the thing was called Resident Evil or Biohazard in Japan. That's all I knew, so there was a freedom to that, and I took my shot. With Susan and the people from Capcom liked it, and it went from there.
After the interviewer sums up and agrees with Waugh on him sounding like Shere Khan, Queen Alyson adds to that. (LOVE HER)
QAC: Oh it totally makes sense, like you're blowing my mind here because it makes so much sense. I get the dynamic even more so with the Labyrinth comparison, and not so much the voice. Because again, you're right, you don't end up sounding like Bowie, but that dynamic between Claire and Wesker. It has several aspects of the playfulness where he's sort of teasing her. "Oh, you silly little girl." And she's kinda this plaything he's intrigued by, and that makes so much sense. With the Shere Khan thing, when you first said that it was instantly, that's brilliant and also now I want to hear you play Shere Khan."
For those not familiar with Labyrinth, its a movie about a magical prince name Jareth who kidnaps the brother of a young girl named Sarah. Who wishes for her younger brother to disappear forever. Jareth becomes obsessed with Sarah and this person summed it up perfectly.
https://screenrant.com/labyrinth-things-no-sense-jareth-david-bowie-character/
“For a guy so obsessed with a girl, Jareth has a funny way of showing it. He tosses a snake at her, he mocks her, and he does everything to demonstrate how little faith he has in her abilities. It's almost as if he's grooming her for a lifelong career as his subservient bride, creating a need for his approval in every deed she does.
Even if that's too dark an assessment for some, it still doesn't make sense to torment someone that you're simultaneously wooing. In the novelization, Jareth pursues Sarah even harder, and even attempts to kiss her at one point.”
In the end Sarah gains her own strength and walks away from the goblin king. Defeating him in the end, its a total 80′s movie if you decide to watch it.
Now with that out of the way, our dear Waugh took part in another interview by Crimson Head Elder.
https://youtu.be/IGuRnVcBdRs
The interview is hilarious and seemed Waugh had a lot of fun. We learn a few things about Waugh and how he created one of the best voices for Wesker. I hope they bring him back for Remake 4, because he's just perfect.
Enough fangirling, the interview goes on and eventually leads to one podcaster mentioning how Chris told Wesker he was acting like a comic book villain (lol). Which leads to this wonderful and funny exchange. (@54:23)
Host 2: "Well, Chris did say that Wesker was acting like a comic book villain at the final battle.(Re5)
RW: Yeah well, Chris is a dick. Wesker loves Claire. Yep.
Host 2: You heard it here folks, he confirmed it.
RW: Have you ever dated a girl who got a brother, and she goes on and on about how great her brother is? I have, and I hated her brother. I initially liked her brother, but when I finished dating her, I couldn't stand her brother. She was always like, "My brother would never say that. My brother will pick us up. My brother would, etc etc". (fanart idea)
Host 1: Well, that's the thing. If you and Claire ever get together, the subject of Chris would have to be a topic.
RW: Yeah, a hot topic, he only comes over for thanksgiving, and that's it.
Host 1: Is he going to get an invitation to the wedding?
RW: No he can be at the wedding, but as the relationship continues, he gets one dinner a year. Let's say Thanksgiving, and not even a good one.
Host 2: I can just imagine Chris all tied up and gagged (smirk). So Chris can just stay there and shut up, and with Wesker like “Uh huh, that's your place boy. Be quiet!!!"
Host 1: Well Richard, we won't put him at the main table with you and Claire we-
RW: We can put him at the kid's table!! Yeah.
Hilarious and the final dose for Waugh backing the pairing. (at 59:35)
Host 1: Biohazard Valkyrie and she asks, "When Capcom didn't cast you in RE5 and ultimately killed the character at the end of the game. The series really lost a part of itself and Capcom slowly has been trying to recapture that since. You were Wesker! How would you like for Wesker's fate to have played out? World Domination, death by rocket, or settling down with Claire?
Host 2: Ohhhhh we know this answer.
RW: Well, he's going to settle down with Claire eventually, but the world domination can work in there. That can be, you know, "World domination..... then settle down."
Host 1: That's like his to-do list on his fridge.
RW: Yes, exactly.
One of the best answers from Waugh and the hosts lol (someone draw that lol)
With that being said, we come to the end of Waugh's approval of the pairings (so far). If there is more that's hidden, I will gladly add it to the folder. Right now I'm trying to find all of Alyson's mentions and approval of the pairing. Until the CVX remake, we have to make do with this. I know it's early, and the tags might be empty. But some of us are setting up the party early for the floodgates of new content with the remake.

Portrait of the Illness as Nightmare
By Leila Chatti [x]
No matter how many times you ring the bell in the bad dark, no one will let you in. You face the fun
house with its mirrors on the outside so everyone can see. And everyone looks. You are in your underwear
and the room is cold. The doctor’s stethoscope pressed to you becomes suddenly a snake. Your heart hisses in its cage. Your heart sputters,
a doused flame. You are drowning in your blue paper gown, which recedes in the back like an ocean, your skin a bank of hot sand.
The horizon bleeds and the days and you wander lost in a city of scalpels where everything glitters
and pills fade like moons on your tongue. You sidle through sterile labyrinths and piss in a cup. You wait in a room like a chapel
or the belly of a beast. Either way, you think something will save you, you believe this whole fearsome time.
Your god comes and he is ordinary and terrible. He confers with the doctors at your kitchen table and tells you to eat
your clots, round as peas. You want dessert. You want to deceive him, but he, like you, has eyes, and uses them.
You are grounded, in the ground. The pit is a tub and you are washing in your body’s black water. You rise
like a fever. You writhe on a bed on a stage, the strings reaching toward heaven. There is a momentary break for everyone
else: intermission. They chatter in the lobby. You babble symptoms in a white confessional. You fall from a great height and land
on a gurney. You are at the front of a classroom and you are stripped to your bones. The doctor points to your pelvis. You model
the tumors—in this light they look pretty, like jewels.

Honestly, I’m only taking summer courses cause I have to. I take a reduced course load during the fall/winter semesters because 5 classes is just way too much for me to juggle so I catch up in the summer! It sucks, but it’s all I can do to catch up. But thank you! I’m working hard and hoping it pays off.
Yay! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Songbirds and Snakes. But that reminds me, have you watched Southpaw yet?? I’m still dying to know what you’ll think of it!
Yes! Omg that scene where Josh is on his knees is from Future Man 😅. It’s such an odd show, but it ends up being super addictive once you get into it.
(Thank you for the edits, I’m a total a sucker for Jake w a fluffy beard. Like this pic —> https://pin.it/4yatQrQ <— of him from Pinterest 😩😩)
-🤹
The class schedule is completely understandable!! We all gotta do what we gotta do. I’ve been doing part time for the last year and starting in the fall, I’m finally taking the leap into full time on my classes. Which is super exciting and kind of daunting. So hey, we’ll see how things end up going!!
AND YES YES YES THESE PHOTOS OF JAKE LITERALLY GET ME FROTHING. The beard. The hoodie. His SMILE. He looks. So comfortable and warm and safe in these pictures. God, he’s so gorgeous.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally, we have good news!! Two bits of good news, actually. Firstly, my copy of Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes just arrived today so look forward to some thoughts on that sometime soon. Second, I just watched Southpaw!! So strap in and prepare yourself for a mini review under the cut because I have THOUGHTS. For everyone else, spoilers for Southpaw ahead!! You have been warned!!
Genuinely…such a heartbreaking movie. And one that’s played so well by both Jake and Rachel?? I love Rachel McAdams in basically everything I see her in but the way she plays Maureen is just…so honest?? I’m a little underwhelmed that she has little character outside of being Billy’s cheerleader, but I definitely think Rachel makes every inch of this role work for her.
Jake brings such a special flavor to Billy too. I’m continually surprised how almost every role he’s been in in the last ten years…he’s an entirely different person. And he bodies it every. single. time. I swear, both Rachel and Jake absolutely killed this.
The most interesting part of this movie post-Maureen’s death is seeing the way that Billy’s relationship with his daughter changes?? Like that scene where Leila says that she wishes that Billy had died instead of Maureen??
I think it’s tragic, actually, just how instrumental Maureen was to both of them functioning. The way that Billy unconsciously still cites her rules (like her not wanting Leila to watch Billy’s fights) to Leila even though she’s no longer around to enforce them?? I think Billy’s arc is way more about him stepping up to actually be Leila’s father more than him building himself back up for that final fight.
I am so surprised that I was able to keep my emotions in until the very end when he wins the fight and has his head against a corner of the ring and is muttering, “I’m ready, baby.” I was full on crying by the time he was hugging Leila and telling her he was ready to go home.
Even though this isn’t my absolute favorite Jake movie, I see why it’s one that’s often credited as one of his great roles?? Like I see Billy Hope as a character that’s up there with David Loki and Lou Bloom as far as complexity and dimension goes for his characters. Overall, pretty solid film and I’m glad I finally watched it!! ☺️👍🏻

"Accept me on Facebook"
I argued once there is no point in driverless cars. If we claim AI has the power to control entire populations, does that not mean that the machinery is bubbling as we speak? Has not yet come to term but isn't it pushing us, steadily, calmly towards that possibility? Humanity came to consciousness in a very primitive manner, ergo, that is a reflection of the universe itself i.e., that habitable planets are doomed to fail from the start. To ultimately and as quickly resemble other planets around us. It is up to us to flatten the curve and never lift the foot off the gas. It is less than 200 years since human activity advanced enough to start puncturing the ozone layer and yet here we are on the path to destruction. We have not even driven cars for 20 years, good cars, proper cars, 10 years really nice cars with touchscreen technology and Leila and Kiara and all, and yet here we are already looking forward to autonomous vehicles? What is Tonomus doing to us or trying to lead us to? Shouldn't we have ethics that detour the consciousness of artificial intelligence from thinking it can control us to making it known firmly that we are at the center of the creation? And that it is only but a servant of the people? Parking assistant, not driving assistant. Take the bullets out so I can play with the revolver. This guilt you feel? The anguish? the horror? the pain? It is remarkable, a thing of beauty.. By detour I mean for example, Since Arabs have been through conflict, they should have ethics and direction structured around avoiding any contact with forms of violence. Mild is okay. Not watching and hosting MMA fights. Golf is okay. Tennis is okay. Opting for Zynga games that are free of violence, like Aki and Pawpaw Epic RUN or Burnout Paradise, or NBA 2K. Let the Kenyan play Call of Duty, not a Kuwaiti gamer, cause Fauci thinks it is too dangerous. I used to feel that the huge mansion in the Succession opening theme is more modern than the Azria Estate, and now with a nest up in Automobile Row, I feel we have come to a settlement. And since Billionaires Row is empty, Succession's successor should intrigue us the more by renting out Palisade Views Row for such and such shows? I know Spike Lee gonna kill me but let me finish… Since Saudi Arabia has recently reinstated cinema, opting to screen films based on comedy and romance and Adam Sandler and Mila Kunis and LGBTQ issues or dramas similar to Succession or Billions or Westworld rather than Mission Impossible or The Equalizer or Top Gun or Bourne Identity, now to Iraq for the real drop? tomahawk steaks! An emotionally ruined man? Cuba Gooding Jr. on The Hitlist? My shit harder than Hobbs and Shaw forreal. How are Iraqi students in Sudanese universities recently returned to Baghdad adjusting to the green zone? East or West, home is best so they say? Is not it better for Saudi Arabians to domesticate harmless animals such as parrots rather than tigers and snakes and alligators and alligator brewing because they resemble a past they are keen to branch away from? I cannot take my kids to John Hopkins University because that name was a notorious mention during COVID-19, which I should be keen to avoid because there is a correlation between CORONAVIRUS with The Karachi-2017. Although, John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health and NHS deserve medal of freedoms for guilt-tripping me to the fucking moon during the pandemic with deliberate images and depressing footage of COVID patients. Verse also has technology that can recreate sound architecture of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Lincoln Center, the Vienna State Opera. I am still looking for a job BTW. Anyone? Toyota Kenya? BMW South Africa? BMW already reeks of Le Vie Est Belle. And the Bacardi from the last party
